quote of the day
"We we've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the Internet, we know this is not true."
— Robert Wilensky
There are no English words that contain a Q without a U, but several words borrowed from other languages fit the criteria. Countries like Iraq and Qatar are obvious, but there are others, like qaddish (a Jewish prayer), qanun (a type of harp) and Qaqortoq (a city in Greenland.)

Liz Stuewe
BY RACHEL BURCHFIELD
"If Hillary Clinton were a man Id still vote for her, but it's the cherry on top of the sunshine that she's a woman." Stuewe said. "We need more women in politics 50 percent of the population is female and is missing a huge voice."
When Sen. Hillary Clinton (D.N.Y.) announced her candidacy for President, Lawrence junior Liz Stuewe mailed a $25 check to Clinton's campaign. Stuewe, a self-proclaimed feminist, is putting her support behind Clinton not only because she sees a need for more women in politics, but because she
ambitions in life. Stuee serves as the president of the University's Commission on the Status of Women. Stuee was quick to point out that CSW was not just an organization for women — men are encouraged to get involved as well. "I want to see as many students as possible at CSW events," she said. "Male and female and students, staff and faculty."
Gender equality and "promoting a world where women are taken seriously" are just some of Stuews
feels Clinton is a good candidate.
Growing up in Lawrence. Stueve cultivated a love for activism from the environment she was raised in.
"I grew up around a lot of activists and people who work for social justice," she said. "I caught that bug."
The eighth-generation Kansan could see the University from her front porch growing up, but she still wasn't convinced that the University was the place for her. She visited many universities before realizing that she didn't want to give up her involvement in local organizations. Stuewe
said she realized that by attending the University, she wouldn't have to give up her passions to get a good education. She arrived here as an elementary education major but soon became a double major in political science and American studies.
Though she sees herself as "100 percent feminist," she said that term often gets misunderstood. The word feminist, Stuewe said, simply means gender equality.
I'm not a crazy man hater. I watch football, I play video games. I also love to spend hours talking with my girlfriends and watching Mandy Moore movies", Stueve said. "I don't have to fit into gender constraints. People assume feminism means something bad, but I proudly say it".
